Police are on the hunt for the driver of a car who fled the scene of a fatal hit and run between Yaxley and Farcet today.

Police are still at the scene of the fatal collision which has killed two men on the B1091, Broadway, Yaxley.

Officers were called at 11.12am to reports of a collision involving two pedestrians and a silver/grey BMW estate.

The air ambulance attended the scene but sadly two men have died.

The driver of the car, a man in his 40s, fled the scene on foot. The police helicopter assisted with the search but the driver is still outstanding.

Police are also looking at whether a call from a member of the public reporting a man entering their home is connected to the incident and the discovery of a briefcase containing a quantity of cash which was recovered in the area.

The road is currently closed in both directions and motorists are asked to avoid the area.
